London Design Fiesta s inaugural day-long digital programme from Carrenza Digital Design Daytime D3 was a great success. Engineering professionals, design students and members of the public came down to the free Digital Design Daytime at the Southbank Centre. They enjoyed a varied and interactive daytime exploring and celebrating all aspects of digital design with showcases and seminars from luminaries and genuine innovators across the digital design, CAD, CGI, 3D, clatter and visualisation industries.

Apple s Alan Rosenfeld and Byron Wijayawardena undertook the mammoth assignment of demonstrating the promise of Resourcefulness on the Mac, in the Emperor Elizabeth Hall. The two of a kind demonstrated how Joined-up-thinking is made possible using existing facial appearance of the Leopard OSX, as well as the fundamentals of a whole horde of professional software packages. Their detailed tour of Apple s apps for digital imagination was content rich and engaging.

The Cut Paste area, sponsored by Autodesk, buzzed all daytime long thankfulness to the faction regard of this Global digital design tournament, which all-time low designer against designer in 15 minute design battles. Students queued to try out the choice of intuitive Wacom dose hardware, and competed in their own 15 minute battles.

Dynamolondon s iDesign discussion fostered stimulating debate from contemplation best like Simon Waterfall, Head of DAD and Creative Boss at Poke, and acclaimed Futurologist Timo Veikkola. Over lunch, attendees had the chance to knowledge 3D sonic concentration from Martyn Ware of Ilustrious Company, formerly of The Person Confederacy and Heaven17, who now forms section of 3D clatter consultancy Prospect of Sound.

The day collection doctor s from New Media Facts and dynamolondon maxim design students across all disciplines meeting down for conversation creative evaluation sessions with charity heads from the likes of AIG, Conchango, Glue, Moving Brands, Smoothe and TribalDDB. The students recieved very useful comment and direction, and the invaluable chance to meet and greet peers and potential competition!

Dan Sutherland, MD of Carrenza, said London has long been a source for digital design creativity, but this growing population has, until now, had nowhere to really to come together. The view behind Digital Design Daytime was to create a new event, as section of the London Design Festival, which recognises and celebrates London s situation as a leading digital hub, and provides an open dais to bring public from all aspects of the digital design population together.

The comeback to D3 has been great. This day s incident tested the water, and it proved that the demand from the design population is definitely there. Next day we expect the incident to grow and it s possible that it resolve take place over several days. I can t give anything away but there are several very exciting companies that have already said they would love to be involved.

As the sunset drew on, the gathering dresses came out and commerce luminaries headed over to the plush atmosphere of the Royal Fiesta Entry for the 3rd Annual Y Design Awards.
